26 Best Coffee Shops in Redwood City

“I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now. Everytime I search for a place with best coffee near my work, this always pops up. I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy.
The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry.
I ordered:

1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor.

2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess

3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty.

4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items.

I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“I love Adeni Chai here. It’s a warm, friendly and family space to relax and play games. I often go for chai and study sessions. Servers are nice. It’s a good place to catch up with friends and there are multiple other restaurants in the area.“

“Favorite place: We always enjoy attending all the events at this wonderful cafe. It's a very cozy place to listen to great concerts or lectures. Thank you.“

“The food was delicious—the chicken and the salad were a real treat. But I want to highlight something that really stood out to me: the customer service provided by the young woman at the register. She is fantastic—kind and very polite. I hope her bosses reward her and don't let such a gem get away. Nowadays, we are so used to poor treatment from customer service staff that we’ve come to view it as normal, often failing to appreciate the excellent service provided by the few good ones left.“

“I really liked my seasonal coconut cloud latte (iced only). The top was overflowing with coconut foam. It was pretty tasty and not too sweet.

The cafe is beautifully decorated. Haven't tried the eats but would be back again! I just wish there was individual conchas for sale besides the gigantic one and the ice cream sandwich.“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Their donuts are simply the best. Don’t pass up on the chance to have at least one maple cover donut as their maple is delicious and unique!“

“Cocola Bakery is next level! Every time I go, I am greeted with warmth and delicious drinks and baked goods. Today, I accidentally left an important bag next to one of the tables. Vanessa went above and beyond and tracked me down to return the object after I left the store. I was shocked by this level of dedication that you will only see at a neighborhood local establishment. Please go to this place to experience true customer service (and the food and drinks are great too!). Its a great place for a work meeting, lunch spot, or to redose your caffeine.“

“Nice, nice, NICE people and great food. I was wandering around downtown Redwood City and decided to give it a try. I ordered a sandwich (The Redwood) which was generous without being so stupidly large you can't finish it. It was great, fresh and full of flavor. This place is a gem.“

“Great coffee. Classic Dunkin’ Donuts. The service was awesome - very efficient server. In a strip mall that is run down so not the ideal location but it doesn’t impact the product - everything you’d want out of a Dunkin in any city. I used the Dunkin app which works well there so no waiting.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Calling all nap trapped parents - this place offers curbside pick up and it's so amazing!! I had a matcha latte today and it was decent. It certainly beats going to Starbucks. I'm so happy that a non-fast food, non-major chain offers this. I am excited to try other menu items later and I will report back.“

“Please fix your a/c! I'm a local and I've noticed that it's been 2 months. Some business is lost because people who want to sit and work (me) with their delicious coffee, can't because of the temp. I have to go to a farther Peets. Otherwise, great Peets and great customer service. 3 stars for atmosphere = no a/c. I would love to come here again.“

“It was clean, the orders were promptly filled, the staff was great. Quite a difference from my last visit three months ago. Different workers, greatly improved. I’ll be back.“

“You never go wrong with Happy Lemon for boba. The location is in the heart of Redwood city. The parking is a bit hard, then you walk to the strip mall to get to the shop. The staff was friendly. My friend accidentally ordered the wrong item, and staff were happy to fix it. The shop is small with few tables, but it’s very neat and clean“

“I thought this place was adorable , I was disappointed when I couldn’t tip with the clover tap to pay option … I feel like when the service is great and we want to tip our servers and it’s not an option it’s a downfall to the company. Why would they take our opportunity to thank the workers away from the register ? Odd if you ask me .. 1 star to the company for taking away our gratuity option !!!“

“I was here yesterday for the umpteenth time over a span of a couple years at this point.

The donuts, croissants, and other sweets are great, and I enjoy their breakfast food as well. They do a solid breakfast wrap, breakfast bagels, and they have iced & hot coffee as well as bananas and other drinks.

I love this place! Hope they stay in business here in RWC for a long time.“

“Pretty cool little spot for a quick Tea!!! Ice area etc.“

“I had some time on my hands while my car was getting a new tire installed at American Tire. I walked north for awhile and found this wonderful coffee shop with tables in the blocked off street, free WiFi, great coffee, and friendly staff. I will return whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Thanks! Franklin San Francisco“

“First of all the ease of the drive thru gets 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love the Coffee Rush, espresso, cream and blended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I also love the iced Americano with a splash of cream. They use real cream not half and half and it makes their drinks decadent.
The baristas are consistently friendly and accurate. 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤍🤍🤍“

“the strawberry Horchata Mexican is so good“

“They were playing my song “Christmas in a Cup” thanks for the love Starbucks, great service! www.EricaSunshineLee.com“

“I go to this location sometimes since it's close to my work. A lot of times I place a mobile order but not a lot of the drinks are available to purchase online. I had gone today with my co-workers and they made one of the drinks completely wrong and I had to ask for a re-do which I hate to ask for. Baristas seemed more like robots making orders and weren't very nice.“
